  • Strategic Workforce Planning in the Age of AI Agents

    Strategic Workforce Planning in the Age of AI Agents
    Jul 28 2026
    AI agents promise big savings but bolting them onto messy processes is a fast way to burn money. In this episode of RPI Tech Connect, Marcus Mossberger of LYTIQS and Melissa Olson, Director of Infor Solutions at RPI Consultants, break down why strategic workforce planning is now urgent for any organization weighing agentic AI. They explain why standardized processes have to come before automation, how to balance the real cost of tokens against full-time talent, and why modeling multiple futures beats trying to predict one. As Marcus puts it, you can't be right anymore. You have to be ready. If strategic workforce planning is on your radar, or your finance team is already counting the savings from AI agents, this episode is the place to start. *Chapters:* 00:00 Welcome to RPI Tech Connect 1:10 How Does Agentic AI Impact Finance & IT? 5:23 Why Standardization Must Preclude Automation 8:53 What is Strategic Workforce Planning, Anyway? 11:35 Talent vs. Tokens 12:58 Losing Leverage to LLMs 18: 33 AI Exposure Rates & Their Impact on Headcount Planning 22:20 The Deskless Workforce is Building AI Infrastructure 25:25 Why HR Needs to Take On Workforce Ownership 34:06 Final Thoughts & Takeaways

  • How AI Helps Neurologists Care for Patients

    How AI Helps Neurologists Care for Patients
    Jul 27 2026
    Learn how artificial intelligence is being used by a practicing neurologist to improve patient care, reduce documentation time, interpret EEG data more efficiently, and help address growing healthcare workforce shortages. This conversation explains where AI provides meaningful support, why physicians still make every clinical decision, and how these tools can create more face-to-face time between providers and patients while reducing administrative burden. Key Takeaways AI-assisted dictation helps physicians spend more time looking at patients instead of typing into electronic medical records. EEG analysis tools help neurologists review large amounts of brain activity data much faster. Artificial intelligence highlights potential seizure activity but does not replace physician interpretation. Doctors still review, edit, and validate every AI-generated recommendation before making clinical decisions. AI can improve efficiency while maintaining the human relationship between providers and patients. Healthcare staffing shortages are increasing the need for technology that helps clinicians work more effectively. AI tools can reduce physician burnout by handling repetitive administrative work. Clinical messaging tools may help providers respond to patient questions more efficiently. Future AI systems may expand access to specialty care in underserved communities. The goal of healthcare AI is to support better patient care, not replace medical professionals. Timestamps 00:04 – How AI supports neurologists during patient care 02:10 – AI-powered clinical documentation and visit summaries 05:14 – Understanding EEG data and brainwave monitoring 07:04 – How AI detects seizure patterns faster 12:28 – Why physicians still validate every AI finding 16:42 – Healthcare staffing shortages and growing patient demand 21:59 – AI documentation tools and electronic medical records 25:54 – Why AI assists instead of replacing doctors 28:14 – Reducing physician burnout through automation 29:30 – Creating more meaningful patient interactions Keywords AI in healthcare, neurology, EEG interpretation, clinical documentation, physician burnout, electronic medical records, healthcare staffing shortages, seizure detection, medical AI tools, patient care technology

  • Fresh Off the Floor of Infor Connect 2026

    Fresh Off the Floor of Infor Connect 2026
    Jul 7 2026
    Send us Fan Mail Infor Connect 2026 just wrapped, and there was a lot to talk about. In this special edition of RPI Tech Connect, Chris sits down with two guests who were on the conference floor: Jeremy Stoltzfus and Melissa Olson. Jeremy covers the usability story—the new Notification Center, Velocity Suite AI use cases, and why the Consolidated WebApp deadline this October is something you don't want to ignore. Melissa picks up where Jeremy leaves off with the bigger picture: agentic AI going from buzzword to live functionality, a unified experience that finally puts HR and WFM in one place, and how Infor's try-before-you-buy model makes it easier than ever to start experimenting. Two conversations, a lot of ground covered. If you missed the event, or attended and want a concise recap, don’t miss this discussion.

    When Your WFM Consultants Used to Be Nurses, Scheduling Gets Easier
